http://www.wgu.edu/business - Jonathan Allen is from Streamwood, Illinois, and graduated from Western Governors University's online Business college. A single father of a teenage son, Jonathan found his WGU degree program served two purposes: The degree gives him the credentials he needs to advance in his career and build a more secure future for himself and his son, and the shared experience as students helped bring him and his son closer together. Jonathan plans to follow up his bachelor's degree with an MBA from WGU, and he aspires to start his own independent consulting firm.

He shared his story as a graduate speaker at WGU's 23rd commencement ceremony in Salt Lake City on July 14, 2012.
